Evidence suggests that they got it from the Etruscans, a small civilization whose territory extended from northern Italy down past Rome, where their kings once ruled, probably around the 7th century BC.
The last Etruscan king to rule in Rome was ousted when the Roman Republic was founded in 509 BC, although the Etruscan culture and art tended to influence Rome up to the 4rd century BC.
And the Etruscans got their alphabet from the Greeks, of course, since EVERYONE in that area borrowed from the Greeks (since, like Alexander the great).
The Romans were Latins, therefore they used the Latin alphabet. They modified the Greek alphabet to create the alphabet that is widely used today. Western European languages have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet. In English only the letters J, K and W do not belong to the Latin alphabet.
